The reason I use Invoice minus(or plus) is that each car is equipped a little different
and I just agree to pay a price relative to invoice, then I can pick and choose
from what is available. You pay dealer invoice for the car and all options plus or minus your premium or discount. Otherwise you have to pick one particular car.
For example I called a few dealers, told them I would buy a Tundra for Invoice -$500 and wait for them to decide if they want to sell for that. Then I see if they have what I want in stock or available.

Well I understand what you are saying however you are not comparing apples to apples.

I figure it is the only way to compare apples to apples as each car might be a little
different in extra equipment. The apple is the discount given that each will vary. I want a truck as close to what I want at fixed discount.
If one has a better stereo than I want, at least I am only paying invoice for it.
The more numbers the dealer gets to play with, the more confusing it is for the buyer.
I am totally happy negotiating a fixed price relative to invoice.

Hi nyaudi--
We are looking at the same truck, orange county, ny. Can you lmk the dealer you went with? You got a great deal IMO. Just starting my research, late in the game, it seems, for August. Are all these rebates still applicable? Thanks!!

I bought one for Invoice -500 plus $5500 rebates by harleys

I picked up a new truck last night for $500 (before $5500 in rebates) under invoice. There are plenty of trucks out there still and you can probably do better still as every dealer I called said no problem to that discount, however they claim Toyota is trying to dry up the supply so they don't have to have such high rebates and can bring out their 2009. I had to get some things I did not want as their were none with the bare minimum of items I wanted. I used Edmonds.com for my guide on invoice price.
However, you cannot find the car you build online. I had to take a few more options
like the Back Up Camera, which I am totally glad I got.
I ended up spending about $2,000 more than I went in to spend, but still
about $4,000 less than my 2000 Tundra was when I bought it in 1999.
To get the $1500 Business Owner rebate, you must register in business name and get business financing from Toyota, which is 1% higher. However, I usually pay my cars off in 3 months or so, once I sell my older car and move some money around to cover.

nyaudi,
 
I just bought a Tundra last night with the business rebate. I have a d.b.a as well. So does your actual vehicle title say the d.b.a name with your name as the co-owner? I just want to get clear on what exactly the insurance card has to say..... Thanks for your help!

The title will have the business name and your name. Just let your insurer know so that you are not in violation of exclusions on your policy.

Insurance and Business Rebate by harleys

My insurer, (allstate) has told me that I may have to have a business policy for the vehicle if it is in my business name (I am a sole proprietor with no employees) and that that policy can cost at least THREE times what a regular policy costs, which would be a major cost beyond the rebate.

To answer a few questions - no idea what Sep rebates are - but I'd expect with oil falling and supply dwindling as the factories have been closed, these rebates will start to fade. The one thing working in your favor is a 2008 is really a used car at this point by model year terms, so that should help. Our dealer was in Kingston. Not sure I can post name, but you can figure it out.
 
As for the business discount, yes, it will show your DBA on the title, registration and the insurance card must match your DBA name precisely. But for a sole proprietorship, there is no extra paperwork or hassle. If you do this, you want to tell your insurance this is something like a 10% part time business. Our insurer had no issues with this - they said 20% was their limit. (I told them exactly what I was doing in terms of scoring an extra discount - they enjoyed the story...) And call it something that has you driving only around your own house - like a farm. I'm not surprised Allstate would try to make some more money off it - they are overpriced to start with IMHO
 
Finally, check Mass. prices. Had we gone there, we may have saved another $1K based on what I saw online, but not sure they will sell to NY resident and provide the Mass. rebates. Good luck and let us know how you make out!
